Timing belt and chain change interval

mjmallia:
I made a post on how I did it somewhere.

EDIT: https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,134480.0.html

I used the INA phaser, chain and tensioner with genuine bolt and the lot cam to about £300 in total.........new gaskets also.  The OEM phaser the last time I checked a few months ago was £560 +VAT (£672) as usually always go genuine........but the genuine tensioner is made by INA for example. Genuine parts equiv came to about £1000 odd in total, which is why I went OE next level down with INA who also make most of the parts anyway.

Mine has been perfect since changing it all myself.  I used an impact on the bolt to begin with, to help break the metal on metal bond then a breaker bar and it came off with ease  :innocent:
